1. I'm trying to set the MediaWiki "Myskin" theme as the default theme for
the entire wiki but have no idea how to do this. Do I need to edit
"localSettings.php" and if so, what actual line in the file needs to be
edited and what code do I need to include?

Edit the line $wgDefaultSkin = 'skinname';

2. My wiki's root (which currently only exists on a development environment
that is not network linked) is: http://localhost/eurowiki/ I should point
out however, and this is very important, the standard installation (which I
followed religiously) of version 1.5.1 (or whatever is the latest version)
seems to result in an automatic redirect being in place such that entering
this URL into the location bar of a web browser actually redirects the page
to:
http://localhost/eurowiki/index.php/Main_Page

Anyway the point is this. If I go to:
http://localhost/eurowiki/MediaWiki:Myskin.css whilst logged in as an
Administrator, I get a 403 page generated via Apache. Obviously I need to
edit this page with the CSS code from Nullbook or I need to import it which
I don't want to do because I don't know how long Samat is going to make it
available.

The page you need to edit is
http://localhost/eurowiki/index.php/MediaWiki:Myskin.css

This will be true of all pages, so a page "My Page" will be at
http://localhost/eurowiki/index.php/My_Page, for example.

Enjoy :)
